Poll: Combo-feint-to-Parry

Alright guys i just wanted to make a little poll to see what the community thinks regarding the current mechanics (panic parry) cause of the imbalances and unnecessary restriction of player control this change caused

For me this big change in mechanics was unnecessary and in the long run as we see now it hurt the game more then it did good, alot of people are/were unhappy with it and the balance council (most of them) had very different opinions from this change but it still went trough back then.

Spamming attacks IE combo spamming without thought it not skillful, if you are going to miss then don’t combo. The current system helps add a reason to not always combo, prepatch there was no reason not to besides having zero stamina. Attacking prepatch was the more defensive option, because you bypassed recovery. You must attack to be defensive. How does that make sense?

I’m just playing with the idea of panic parry -> riposte and it’d be interesting but is rewarding towards thoughtless attacks.
I think riposte and fast weapons need balancing against some of the slower weapons. Eg the longsword. Having a massive damage ratio but really bad K:D ratio in TO is very frustrating.

Keep it the way it is now. A move that allows you to make up for any mistake is ridicolous and shouldn’t be in the game.

Except that panic parry is literally a move to make up for mistakes, just alot easier then CftP and every noobie can do it by just mashing right mouse button after a miss without even knowing the mechanics.

Well the current system pretty much is a “1 attack dont combo” meta, especially looking at the viable competitive weapons. I dont know if thats any better, especially coupled with how broken man at arms is right now and how many weapons are total crap because of this change.

I always thought it was skillfull to 1vN while having to combo feint parry and aim your parries to survive. The current system is harder, but not because people got better or something like that, but because the game restricts you now artificially.

Right now, it is better to be forced to miss, and then, to be forced to parry. How illuminating.
